Don't Worry I'll Think Of A Title

An Admittedly Boring Entry

I paid off my Target credit card today in full. I had used it exactly once, and I think everything on the balance was late charges and interest and of course, interest on late charges. I'm pretty disappointed in myself that I let that happen, but I feel really really good that I made it go away. One cheer for me: HIP.

I remember a while back going to the post office to mail off my water bill and feeling really good about it. Then I started asking myself why I was patting myself on the back so much for just paying my water bill. But there were two very good reasons:

It helps me keep my water bill paid

Nobody else is going to do it.

Paying off my Target card was like that. Except I had to brag about it to somebody, and I chose Elle as my victim.She was in the middle of doing a lot of work when I told her. She not only said "that's good" but actually looked up from her work at me when she said it. That's a lot more than I would have done. She is a saint. I'm sure she has earned about 8 zillion karma points for all the ways she has indulged me.

As long as I am making a really boring entry, I should say something about my blood pressure medicine. NOTHING is more boring than blood pressure medicine. Well, maybe foot powder, but blood pressure medicine is way up there. Anyway, I remembered to take my blood pressure medicine today. This would not be worth mentioning, except that I forgot yesterday, and I am happy to be back on track. This also fits in with this entries theme of congratulating myself for microscopically small achievements.
